Undertale endings explained and how to access hard mode

Undertale has a variety of endings, depending on your actions throughout the story.

These actions are essentially who you spare and kill on your adventure. Basically, they fall into three categories: pacifist (saving everyone), natural (some health), and genocide (killing everything).

As the game keeps track of how each match ends, we highly recommend doing a Pacifist run first followed by Genocide to get the standard version of each, and then you can experiment. There is also an additional ‘Hard Mode’ to discover.

Of course, before we continue, expect spoilers ahead.

Undertale Endings Explained: How to Unlock the Pacifist, Genocide, and Neutral Endings

The game has two “proper” endings: True Pacifist, in which you save both the underworld and humanity, and Genocide, in which you ruin everything for everyone, but also features a wide range of “neutral” endings triggered by killing and forgive specific characters. .

pacifist ending

To get the Pacifist ending, you must not kill a single creature, in addition to sparing (and dating) all the main characters you encounter. Doing so will give you access to new content, so it’s worth playing first.

End of the genocide

To get a true Genocide ending, you must kill a certain number of monsters, as well as their bosses, before continuing. Our genocide execution page explains in more detail how this works.

Neutral endings

A neutral game is something intermediate between the two previous endings; without forgiving everyone, but neither massacring everything in its path.

There are many subtle variations, but below we list the ones with the most significant differences, along with the effects they have.

Again, expect spoilers below. We recommend playing Pacifista (see above) first and then experimenting with the different variations.

  • Do everything necessary for the Pacifist ending, but kill between 1 and 9 monsters. This causes the game to end before the additional Pacifist additions, so if you’ve played as a Pacifist you’ll have already seen this.
  • Kill a monster before meeting Undyne.
  • Kill Toriel and spare Undyne.
  • Kill 10 or more monsters and Papyrus. Killing or sparing Mettaton will slightly affect the outcome.
  • Kill 10 or more monsters and Undyne. If you spare or kill Papyrus, the outcome will be slightly different.
  • Kill Undyne, Mettaton and Toriel.
  • Kill Undyne and Toriel.
  • Kill only Undyne, Mettaton, Papyrus and Toriel, but not the monsters.
  • Kill Undyne, Mettaton, Papyrus, Toriel and some monsters. This ending is a big disappointment.
  • Start a genocide race and then lose your quota in Hotlands.

Playing Undertale? Our complete Undertale walkthrough and Pacifist guide will explain how to finish the game without affecting everyone, covering all areas including Ruins, Snowdin, Waterfall, Hotlands and The Core, and more. You can also learn how to unlock each ending, access Hard Mode, and play as evil as possible with a Genocide run.

How to unlock hard mode in Undertale

A final “ending” available is Hard Mode – it’s currently an incomplete feature and will likely remain so, but for completion it’s worth playing.

To access, enter your name as ‘Frisk’ when you start a new game and then play in the Ruins as usual. All of the enemies will have been replaced with tougher versions from later in the main story, none of the changes will be tagged and some of the dialogue will be slightly different, but otherwise the experience is the same until you face Toriel.

During their fight an Annoying Dog will appear and everything will be over. Otherwise there’s nothing to do, although it does unlock an extra edge, according to the Undertale subreddit, as a bonus for anyone who tries it.
